Second Wind Symbol

The symbol representing Second Wind Running Club (SWRC) was an appropriate, if not controversial, Chinese character, 屁, pronounced "pee!", meaning "wind (from bowels)" or, colloquially, "buttocks".  SWRC anticipated the trend of adopting Chinese characters in amusing and often unintended ways. In this case, the choice was an interesting and meaningful one, even if a number of club members are averse to wearing the word "fart" on their clothing.

The character is apt on a number of levels.
